Our blog is devoted to all campers and RVers who want to get outdoors, but don’t want to rough it with limited water, no showers, etc. We’ve been there and done that and had a great time. But we also know that is not our style anymore. We’re more about camping in amazing places without giving up too many of the comforts and conveniences of home.

If you need just the basics of RVing and camping, without a lot of stress, you have come to the right place!

Great, lightweight options. We looked into the Aliner before we purchased our 15' Escape Fiberglass trailer, we've had it for 9 years, tow with an SUV and love it! Cheers to lightweight, tiny trailers!

There is a way to make larger trailers light enough for mid-sized SUVs. Try the way European manufacturers make theirs. They call them Caravans. There's no frame in the walls, roof, or floor, not counting the steel frame underneath. They make theirs out of composite panels, which are very light and very strong and don't have a frame. It's monocoque construction. The only wood used is for the furniture, cupboards, closet and inside walls. The underframe is made of tensile steel, so less steel is needed, further reducing weight. Most of them weigh less than 1, 950 kilograms (4, 290 pounds) Even the 25-footers weigh around 3, 000 pounds. There's a Swedish company called Kabe that makes a 35-footer that weighs 5, 500 pounds. A simple full-sized half-ton truck could tow that. That's why it's very common in Europe to see those caravans even the bigger ones being towed by mid-sized SUVs and mid-sized cars. Because most of them weigh less than 4, 290 pounds they don't require a weight distribution hitch for towing. Even the bigger ones only have cassette toilets, separate water tanks and grey water tanks. They aren't attached under the floor. Instead, you walk the tank over to the nearest tap, fill it up which is 40 litres (10.5 gallons), roll it back, connect it to a valve on the side and turn on the pump. The grey water tank too. You connect it to drain pipes under the trailer and just wheel it away to be emptied as needed. You guys should look into those and consider those manufacturing methods.

Good idea for a video. Sometimes I wish I had a small camper. I like all types of camping.

Don't buy the TLRV junk. Many issues and failing parts. Now just over one year old and no more warranty.
